I finally got the leveling kit on. We ended up going with a 2.5" front & 1.5" rear suspension maxx leveling kit. Suspension maxx was one of the only ones I could find that had a product for the '15 models & they seem to have a good reputation. Seems like a good kit & the install wasn't bad. Here's a picture of it after the leveling kit installed:

Here's the before picture again just for reference:

Here's a picture of the test fit of my 20x9 BMF Novakanes & 295/55 Toyo M/Ts.

I was surprised that there was almost no rubbing with the 296/55 Toyo M/Ts. I did get it to rub a tiny bit at full lock when backing up down the driveway. Her BMF Novakanes will be here on Tuesday & then I will order the tires. Deciding between the 295/55 Toyo M/Ts or going down to a 285/55 Nitto Trail Grappler so there will be no rubbing no matter what.

Stick with the MTs unless they are too loud. They look awesome!

We had the trail grapplers on my wife's old Yukon & the only complaint I had was that they felt squirmy on the highway.

I don’t know anything about leveling, lifting or lowering a truck. I do know I like the way it looks a lot. Does leveling affect the performance of the truck in any way? I have a Denali on order with the magnetic ride suspension so is this even possible. Thanks your truck looks awesome.

You can raise or lower with magnetic ride control. However it might require modifying sensor links... Etc.

The one I am aware of on here that is lowered with magnetic ride said it was extra work to take apart the magnetic ride shocks.

Thank you, so it looks like it requires some work. I hate the idea of tampering with any sensors. Sucks GM makes these look like hot rods, I like that leveled look so much better especially on the XL's. I'm sure there's a reason they make them look like this.
